  If your Amana Refrigerator section is too warm, consider the following: * Avoid excessive door opening. * Do not overload shelves. * Avoid placing hot food in the refrigerator. * Ensure the refrigerator temperature control is set correctly to a colder setting. * Check the door seal. Level the cabinet, adjust the hinges, or replace the door gasket if needed. * Make sure refrigerator airflow is not restricted. Check the damper operation, temperature control, and evaporator fan. * Check if the interior light stays on, as this can generate heat. Inspect the switch and adjust the door. * A faulty evaporator fan can cause this issue. Check the fan switch, fan, and wiring. * In some cases, a faulty compressor can be the cause and may require replacement.

Why does my Amana V Series Refrigerator run continuously and is too cold or warm?

  newmanmaryAug 21, 2025
  If your Amana unit runs continuously and the temperature is either too cold or too warm, it could be due to a faulty defrost timer, cold control, defrost terminator, or high-voltage board (on electronic units). Check these components and replace any that are faulty.
